This project will add an agile locally and globally sharable HPCC (High-Performance Computing Cluster) hosted in a ScienceDMZ enclave, integrated with national science computing facilities, including the Open Science Grid (OSG), by creatively using recent advances in federated science networking and distributed systems’ virtualization open to regional faculty. The system is composed of 18 nodes with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6242R class CPUs (20 core), 192GB RAM, and an NVIDIA A30 class GPUs. Storage is spread across the nodes using CEPHThe project supports several interesting newly emerging collaborative HPCC workflows- scienceware as-a-service (SAS) and science-data-lakes (SDL), and intense real-time-computing (iRTC) besides supporting the HPC and HTC workflows. NSF-funded resources in this project are open to all faculty researchers in northeast Ohio colleges and their collaborators, including the faculty of all eight campuses of Kent who are in the network’s latency proximity and engaged in data-intensive collaborative workflows. In order to support high throughput and collaborative computing, the ScienceDMZ exercises a new model of unimpeded host-centric cauterized and federated security, as opposed to the traditional perimeter focused security approach. It is already fronted by a 100-Gbps Data Transfer Node (DTN) capable of ‘friction-free’ long-haul transferring massive datasets. The project directly contributes to NSF’s goals to foster innovation, integration, and engineering of new campus-level networking and cyberinfrastructure that can assertively support widely collaborative, multi-campus distributed massive-data driven research and harness largely untapped potential to share unused compute cycles and resources across the entire academic fabric, while leveraging a compelling set of science projects from a wide variety of disciplines.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将通过创造性地利用联合科学网络和技术方面的最新进展，添加一个敏捷的本地和全球可共享的 HPCC（高性能计算集群），该集群托管在 ScienceDMZ 飞地中，与包括开放科学网格（OSG）在内的国家科学计算设施集成。该系统由 18 个节点组成，配备双 Intel Xeon Gold 6242R 级 CPU（20 核）、192GB RAM 和一个面向区域教师的分布式系统虚拟化。 NVIDIA A30 级 GPU。存储使用 CEPH 分布在节点上。该项目支持几种有趣的新兴协作 HPCC 工作流程 - 科学软件即服务 (SAS) 和科学数据湖 (SDL)，以及密集的实时计算 ( iRTC）除了支持该项目中由 NSF 资助的 HPC 和 HTC 工作流程之外，还向俄亥俄州东北部学院的所有教职人员及其合作者开放，包括肯特郡所有八个校区的教职人员。为了支持高吞吐量和协作计算，ScienceDMZ 采用了一种不受阻碍的以主机为中心的联合安全模型，而不是传统的以边界为中心的安全方法。已经以 100 Gbps 数据传输节点 (DTN) 为前端，能够“无摩擦”长途传输大量数据集。该项目直接有助于 NSF 促进创新的目标，新校园级网络和网络基础设施的集成和工程，可以坚定地支持广泛协作、多校园分布式海量数据驱动的研究，并利用很大程度上未开发的潜力来共享整个学术结构中未使用的计算周期和资源，同时利用主导地位一系列来自不同学科的科学项目。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
